Re: Dropmembered trucks
There is a lot of Man Love for Nate over here. Nate builds the Drop Member and Suicide Doors makes the Raised Crossmember. Both accomplish the same thing. Thanks for sharing your build

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Here are some front shots of my buddy and fellow Dallas PickupsNPanels member.
It is a 65 LWB, I am going to get the same headers made he has. 1 & 7/8 equal length long tubes.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Ohh no, I'm no longer seeing the light in the tunnel. PB might be getting a call for the next project.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
My wife just does not even ask anymore. She will call me and say "you have a bunch of boxes at the front door, do I even want to know" and I say "never ask a question you really dont want the answer to" LOL>

Re: Dropmembered trucks
i think it is just powder, they called it a super wet black. your are right, it looks killer till ya touch it. makes you mad when you see greasey fingerprints on it. it does scuff easy. if i did it again i would do semi gloss, just for the wear factor.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Nice. I'm over in Pensacola working on the same thing. I think I scored a suburban frame that I'll paint then put all the pb stuff on then swap frames. I can hear the snow ball rolling down the hill now...... Once the burb comes off the frame all bets are off.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Here is my 68 shorty. 22's up front 24's in the rear. 454 bigblock with a th400 for now, eventually I would like to switch to a tremec.
This thing has been in pieces so long that the front suspension is a dropmember version1. It is currently pieced together with factory pieces. Eventually I will swap to all PB parts up front. The rear is a bolt-in dropmember.
